Scorecards
Vendor performance scorecards and the quarterly VPS analytics behind them.
Primary services / Retail Link reporting
Reporting you can act on.
Sales, instock, market basket and regional analysis pulled weekly and turned into something you can act on rather than a screenshot.
Retail Link is the largest retail database in the world. Most of it is noise.
Jon managed Retail Link for Rubbermaid from its beta release to the first 300 suppliers. Nearly four decades later the reporting we send is the part that changes a decision, with the rest left out.
Part of the same account team, not a separate engagement. Everything below is included in the account management we already run.
- 01 Vendor performance scorecards, read and explained
- 02 Item summary, rankings and instock position weekly
- 03 Movement, supply and market basket analysis
- 04 Ad hoc pulls when a buyer question needs an answer
What it covers.
The parts of Retail Link reporting that take the time, and the ones an account quietly loses money on when nobody owns them.
Instock
Instock position watched weekly, because the shelf is where sales are lost.
Market basket
What sells alongside your item, and what that argues for in the modular.
Regional
Where the item works and where it does not, by region and by store.
The other seven.
Suppliers rarely need one of these on its own. See them together on Primary Services, or read about account management.
